Top DeSantis Ally Threatens to Tank Trump in General Election, Help Biden Win
Breitbart ^ | 16 Aug 2023 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Posted on 08/17/2023 7:12:44 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Bill Mitchell, a prominent pro-Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) online influencer, threatened to tank former President Donald Trump and help President Joe Biden in the general election.

Mitchell took to Twitter to lay out his new “plan” to prevent Trump from winning the general election, should he win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.

“Here’s the plan. If Trump keeps being a prick to DeSantis and wins the nomination, DeSantis supporters should organize to write in DeSantis in the General. We’ll vote straight red down ballot to make sure we control Congress to keep Biden in check for 4 more years,” Mitchell wrote. “But Trump will NEVER be president again.”

Here's the plan.

If Trump keeps being a prick to DeSantis and wins the nomination, DeSantis supporters should organize to write in DeSantis in the General. We'll vote straight red down ballot to make sure we control Congress to keep Biden in check for 4 more years.

But Trump…

— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) August 16, 2023

Mitchell backtracked on his previous pledge to support any Republican who secured the nomination.

“I thought you said before that you would support any candidate that wins the nomination,” one user replied.

“I changed my mind,” Mitchell responded.

Mitchell grew his online platform in 2016 by being one of the most vocal Trump supporters. However, he made headlines at the beginning of the year when he announced his support for DeSantis over Trump.

Mitchell’s plan to thwart Trump in the general election appears to be aligned with his pledge to “work with every ounce of my being to help Gov. DeSantis win the nomination and the presidency,” as he claimed when he announced his support for the Florida governor.

This is a lie and propaganda that desantis supporters/nevertrumpers continue to push to gaslight FR.

The 2024 election is not the same as the 2016.

Trump is running as if he’s a sucessful incumbent president, where as there was no republican incumbent in 2016.

Trump is not going to lose support, no matter how many times they indict him.

And the GOPe uniparty supporters and nevertrumpers aren’t going to be able to push the saying

‘vote for whoever the republican is, because any republican is better than any democrat’

simply isn’t true anymore

desanctimonious is going to continue to lose support, as more and more people get to know him.

The problem with the desantis campaign is desantis, and nothing will change that.

Losers are those who ploy to cost their own party an election. They never win the benefits of what they want to do, just more losses all around.

The problem is, there is a constituency out there that completely turns off! Maybe as much now as 25% - 30% of the electorate - Independents, some GOP’ers and the few Rats that aren’t in lockstep with the party. You need them to win, how do you get them back? You can’t just say “ well piss on’em “ .... they vote! They’ll either sit at home or vote for Biden. If Biden is discarded and they bring in Newsom, that number could be higher! Newsom’s catastrophic governing record in California won’t even register to them! Just like Trump’s excellent governing record makes no impact on people who judge him strictly by his antics. I am always shocked how little people pay attention to past governing accomplishments both good & bad when deciding who to vote for!

This is a lie

No, it's an easily verifiable fact which you don't happen to like - that does not make it a lie. Stop lying about that.

Truly great marketing accomplishes two things:

1. Attracts the right people with the power of an electromagnet
2. Repels the wrong people just as strongly.

Trump does both well.

The strongly attracted are democrats, republicans, and independents - all people who love America and want a future for themselves and their children or grandchildren.

There are still a majority of those.

Trump attracted more votes last go round than any potus in history.

Without fraud, he was elected.

I agree with you. If Biden is who they want again, Hell with them.

I know, but Trump would still be leading without the vitriol, maybe by more.

Trump was polling at 12% in the summer of 2015, trailing Jeb Bush. He then went on to win the nomination. You called that a lie - show me the lie in that fact, or admit you’re a lair yourself. Simple as that.

Well, there are Freepers here that proclaim that if DeSantis should win the primary (highly unlikely) they won’t vote for him.

Your tds has caused you to show you lie and mis-represent things just as much as the other desantis supporters/nevertrumpers..

your post in 54 says that we are at the same place where Trump was as 12% in 2016

I said

The 2024 election is not the same as the 2016.

Trump is running as if he’s a sucessful incumbent president, where as there was no republican incumbent in 2016.

yet you continue to gaslight FR and completely ignore the conditions of the 2024 election are different, and goes back to talking about the 2016 election.

The desantis supporters/nevertrumpers here could quite easily would do exactly what mitchell says to do

Respectfully disagree.

He’d have your typical Rovian pablum message.

I guess we don’t have to wonder any more whose side DeSantis is on.

Count me as one of those FReepers.

I know longer vote for those who are either directly a Globalist or Neo-Con or NeverTrumper, or those who align themselves with Globalists, Neo-Cons or NeverTrumpers. The last time I did that was with GWB.

Not that there is any real difference between those two groups logically.

And I won't do it again because they are effectively the enemy of MAGA!

Talk about cutting off one’s nose just to spite one’s own face, this has to be the star example.

Not is it disfiguring and certainly quite painful, the act is also probably irreversible. Some things, there is just no walking back from.

Lurching from one crisis to another is not a very good learning experience. For anybody. Might as well be a Democrat Socialist, for all the good that strategy does for advancing human understanding and wisdom.
